How to Create a Miniature Garden

Today we will talk a little bit about miniature gardens. I was searching form a totally other thing and I “stumbled” on some pictures with amazing miniature gardens made in flower pots. At first, it’s better to know that this miniature gardens planted in a pot or other container, are designed to resist outside in the sun or rain. For this it’s better to use real small plants, which have a very slow growth rate. Some plants can grow up to 15 cm in a year, while others do not exceed 2 cm. These masterpieces are kept very well over time, up to 8 years without needing too much care besides watering the plants.

You can create miniature gardens also in broken plant pots. A broken clay flower pot can be resurrected for a new life as a landscaped miniature garden scene. You can also “store” this little garden indoors or out, depending on the plants you choose. So, just take a little pick at the pictures bellow and let your imagination run wild and create your very own miniature garden flower pot.

I really like the pot with the bird houses and bench seat. I am trying to figure out the best way to cut a pot like that one. I don’t think that pot just broke like that, it looks like it was cut. Any suggestions?

this is awesome I plan on doing this, you can get alot of the minitures from amazon, I found some there, I seen some of those little mini houses at the thrift but couldnt figure out what would I do with it, now I know if they are still there will get them. I am thinking of making a beach scene with wild horses and lighthouses since I have some of these already, will have to get much smaller horses. maybe a few gulls or pelicans if I can find them, will need sand too. this is just to neat of an idea not to incorp them in my yard I have 3 acres by the way so I have no problem with implementing a thousand ideas.

Michael’s currently (8/2014) has 7 piece fairy garden kits on sale for $11.99 (originally $29.99).
JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby also carry a wonderful line of fairy garden accessories but they are only carried in the stores in the early Spring. The various pieces can be pricey but they always reduce them down to 70-80% off (be patient and watch the newspaper) as it’s always worth the wait!
One of the garden sets on this site (third from the bottom) is available online through Collections, Etc ($18.99 plus shipping).
